This is an independent directory and is not an official directory of Indigenous Services Canada or the Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) Program. Listings may change and inclusion does not guarantee current NIHB enrollment, availability, eligibility, or coverage. Please confirm current provider and benefit information directly with the provider or NIHB before accessing services.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find out more about a therapist or provider?
The directory provides basic information to help you identify potential NIHB mental health providers, but you may want to learn more about a provider’s experience, areas of practice, approach to counselling, or current availability before contacting them.
We have begun adding direct website links for providers who have confirmed their information, and we continue to update and improve the directory as more providers respond.
If a website link is not yet available, you can search the provider's name and/or practice name on Google (see image below) to find their website, contact information, and availability.
What is the NIHB Mental Health Provider Directory?
This is an independent directory designed to make it easier to find mental health providers who may provide services through the Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) Program. You can search and filter providers by location, profession, language, virtual counselling and other available information.
Is this an official NIHB directory?
No. This directory is independently operated and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by Indigenous Services Canada or the NIHB Program. Provider information can change, so it is always a good idea to confirm a provider's current NIHB status and availability before booking an appointment.
I'm an NIHB mental health provider. How can I update or add my information?
If you are an NIHB mental health provider and would like to add, update or correct information in the directory, please reach out to: info@stuartcameron.org

How do I find an NIHB mental health provider near me?
Use the province or territory and location filters above to find NIHB mental health providers in your community or elsewhere in Canada. The directory includes providers across all Canadian provinces and territories, with options to filter by profession, language, and areas of support. If you're open to online counselling, selecting Virtual counselling may help you find additional providers beyond your local area. Availability and eligibility for virtual services may vary, so contact the provider directly to confirm.
Can I see an NIHB therapist virtually?
Many mental health providers offer virtual counselling, which can be particularly useful if there are limited NIHB providers in your community. Use the Virtual counselling filter above to find providers whose available information indicates that they offer virtual services.

Do I have to pay an NIHB mental health provider myself?
Many NIHB-enrolled providers bill the program directly for eligible services, meaning clients generally do not have to pay the provider upfront for an approved NIHB service. However, billing arrangements should always be confirmed with the provider before your first appointment.

How do I know if a provider is accepting new clients?
Availability changes frequently and may not always be reflected in a directory listing. Contact the provider directly to ask whether they are currently accepting new NIHB clients, whether they provide virtual or in-person appointments, and what their current wait time is.
